Rhiannon says: 'A fun way to bring sexual protection to the masses at the same time as raising funds.'
For the cupcake:
2 large eggs, cracked open
1 tsp vanilla essence
125g/4oz caster sugar
125g/4oz soft margarine
125g/4oz self-raising flour
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees/ gas mark 4/ 350 f
- Mix all the ingredients together
- Line a baking tray with cupcake cases and half fill
- Bake for around 20 minutes until they are light brown in colour and springy to touch.
- Allow to cool
For the icing:
4 oz / 125 g icing sugar
4 oz / 125 g butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
a few drops of food colouring
- Beat the butter in a lare bowl until soft
- Slowly add the icing sugar and vanilla essence until it's all mixed in
- Add a few drops of food colouring at a time until you get your desired shade.
- Once the mixture is smooth spread it across the cakes
- Make a slit in the cakes and put in the condom (It is important to leave the wrapper on!!). It's also a good idea to make sure the condom wrappers are clean.
Top Tips
-
Be creative: you can add chocolate chips, raisins, or use different icing types to make the cakes more exciting.
- You can also use different colours to colour co-ordinate with your condoms of choice.
- If you're doing a mass batch then double up on quantities.
- To get free condoms for the cakes try asking your local sexual health clinic or applying to a condom manufacturer for sponsorship.
- Make sure when selling that your punters know the condoms are not edible - this could be messy!
- And sell sell sell cake and sexual protection, what more could you want?
